OPEN CALL for Academic and Artistic Submissions

ArcheTime conference and art exhibition aims to foster critical discourse between artistic, academic and scientific thought on Time. We endeavor to examine and compare the various models of Time that have been suggested across disciplinary boundaries. We invite participants from these divergent disciplines to come together and share their visions of Time in the spirit of multi-disciplinary collaboration and the search for new perspectives.

This is an open call for submissions from theorists and practitioners in the following fields: Art, Science, Comparative Philosophy, Computation, Critical Theory, Design, Literature, Architecture, Media (New and Old), Music, Performance, and others.

We are looking for papers, abstracts, artworks, literary and narrative texts, poetry, music and new technology.

ArcheTime: Cross-Disciplinary Conference and Exhibition on Time

Dedicated to the exploration of differences and synchronicities between artistic, academic and scientific concepts of Time

Olga Ast is a conceptual interdisciplinary artist. Ast’s projects have combined different media to find the interconnecting threads between divergent fields such as art, poetry, philosophy, science & technology. Her installations and other work resided in the “gray zone” between art & science, among other disciplines. Ast has exhibited and lectured in the U.S. and abroad, presenting her work at Rutgers, Goettingen and Michigan Universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Kloone 4000 International Art/Science Project, the Philoctetes Center and NYC Future Salon. In 2009, she organized the ArcheTime Conference and Exhibition in NYC, dedicated to exploring artistic, academic and scientific concepts of time (www.archetime.net). In 2009, she published 'Fleeing from Absence', a book of four essays that explores the nature and interpretations of time (www.fleeingfromabsence.com). At the present time Olga Ast is in the process of creating a publication, 'Infinite Instances: Studies and Images of Time', to be released by Mark Batty Publisher in 2011.
